During another point in the interview, Hannity asked if Musk would recuse himself from DOGE efforts if there was ever a conflict of interest.

"If there's a conflict he won't be involved," Trump said. "I wouldn't want that and he won't want it."

"He's been so unfairly attacked," Musk said of Trump during the interview. "It's really outrageous."

"I've spent a lot of time with the President, and not once have I seen him do anything mean or cruel or wrong."
